When will exchange of contracts happen for sale conveyancing in Formby and am I required to attend the conveyancers branch?
If you are in close proximity to our conveyancing solicitors in Formby you are welcome to come in to sign the paperwork. That being said, the lender approved solicitors we work with provide a countrywide conveyancing service and give just as diligent and professional a job for you when dealing with you digitally. The signing of the contract is not when everything is set in stone. A signed contract is necessary for the solicitor to officially exchange when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The exchange process is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a lengthy "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Formby)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
is it true that all Formby solicitors on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel are overseen by the SRA?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel they would need to be overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Some banks do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel and in such a situation the organisation would be regulated by the CLC.
I am due to exchange contracts on my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in March 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Nationwide are being a right pain. The Formby solicitor who is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Nationwide are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Nationwide have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Nationwide have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Nationwide may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
About to purchase flat in Formby. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Formby conveyancer is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel.
